Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
The sort A-Z subfolders does not come up in the new outlook
My subfolders in the new outlook seem to be sorted by date of change/creation. How can I sort them in alphabetical order?

Also, to order them how I want, I have to put letters in front of the folder name ( numbers only work if 0-9, then all the decimals are added first if you have more than 10 folders)
MSFT you should look into this usability feature!!

2024-08-08T20:17:53+00:00 Hi, I found a random work around ( that works sometimes) If you take the folder that you want to move, and then put it in a sub folder (doesn't matter which one). Then the folder you just moved into a subfolder take it and move to inbox. Then it should be alphabetical. You may have to try a couple of times to make it work. Not the best way, but it worked for me a couple of times.
